According to note 2768127:

Work before migration:

  1. Make sure all <SOURCE DATABASE> local repositories have same/latest version of code/objects prior to migration.
  2. Please create blank databases/schemas on <TARGET DATABASE> server where local and central repositories will be moved/migrated. Appropriate permissions set, database user should be schema/DB owner.

Step to migrate central repositories:

A central repository cannot be migrated like a local repository can be migrated. That's why it is ensured in step 1 (Work before migration), so that <SOURCE DATABASE> central repository can be discontinued.

In case source and target databases of central repositories are the same (both have to be <SOURCE DATABASE> or both <TARGET DATABASE>), central repository can be preserved by copying database directly. In this case, it is moving from <SOURCE DATABASE> to <TARGET DATABASE>, the only way to move using all existing objects is using some external tools to move data from <SOURCE DATABASE> to <TARGET DATABASE>. Otherwise, starting with a fresh/blank central repository should be considered.

  1. From DS Repository Manager create a new secured central <TARGET DATABASE> repository (in the blank schema created in Step 2 (Work before migration))
  2. Configure the <TARGET DATABASE> central repository in the CMC (Created in Step 2 above)
  3. From Data Services Management Console activate the central repository
  4. From DS designer connect to central repository and start using normally. The Central repository will be empty, and objects can be checked in and subsequently checked ou from it.

NOTE: Do not copy and restore local or central repositories between different server machines.
